RE: Graupner Jetsprint Thread-Build-Talk-BS
i put new grate on today because the old on kept getting messed up so i tried the mesh in hopes of better priming. but to day i was getting some vid and fliped and it wasn't pretty floated upside down 200ft then started to sink [ first time doin that! ] then it flipped over but i put the controler down to go get the boat [god damn it!!!!!!!!!!!!] and then after another 50ft and the last hope of not swimming bearly got it and the hatch was saved by the rollcage [ got **** lucky ] so i put some posts in and sucured that p o s! and it wont come off this time i promis don't even need clips to put it on there snug .repaired the hatch some exhaust damage. got home dried it off the engine stared to go and the the esc went up inflames opps. but only 9 bucks and i got a new one on the way got to love!!! these cheap outrunners

I see there's 5 jet sprint threads running at the moment on the first page of fast electric. It's come a long way since when I started, and the local hobby shop operator told me that model radio control jet boats aren't practical.
Back even 4 years ago, it was really hard to find anything on radio control jet boats on the net, and now, it looks like of any type of boat in fast electric, jets are the ones people are having the most fun with. Getting kicked off your neighbour's pond... even 15 years ago, when I had my early version nitro jetboats, I was taking my boat to lots of places, simply because I could, they don't need much water to run in, and you can beach them without damage to the jet unit. You can even take them where people are in the water, because there's no sharp prop to cut anyone with.[sm=thumbs_up.gif]
